Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1963 Rapier Convertible, owned since 2006, presents as a usable classic with a recent bespoke hood and some mechanical updates like a stainless exhaust and new brake components. While it's a former show winner and has been used for weddings, it now requires some TLC to bring it back to its best.
Condition
6
The car is described as needing TLC to bring it up to scratch, suggesting it's not in top condition. However, it has a good, recently tailored hood and is described as a solid base, indicating it's not in poor condition either. Moderate wear on exterior, interior, and/or wheels. May have a few small dents, light paint scratches, or noticeable curb marks. Some reconditioning is required.

Description Usable summer fun; quality convertible; recent bespoke hood Dating from May 1963, this Rapier Convertible has been owned by the vendor since 2006.
The V5C shows nine previous keepers and there are bills on file for a new brake master cylinder, new rear wheel cylinders and a stainless exhaust (from the downpipe onwards).
A previous show winner and regularly used for weddings, it would now benefit from some TLC to bring it up to scratch, but looks a solid base upon which to start with a good hood that has been nicely tailored to the car.
